Another Typical Day. ( Azure (: )

[Toasty]

He was holding my throat now, cutting off my agonizing screams. But then, almost at the same time, Duke and I hear someone else scream. Ally. Thanks god, she's finally here. Maybe she can help me, or at least get Duke to leave me alone for now. The site of Ally there just makes me feel better overall. Maybe it's cause I knew she would help me....Right? She gets Dukes attention, and he literally tosses my aside. I tumble on the ground, the bruises being crushed underneath the weight, all the pain in the world focused on me right now. I lay there on the ground, as I see Dukes friend engulf him and Ally. I can't see them, but all I can do is listen.

"So, Ally, you made up your mind? You going to be with me or not?"

I didn't know if Ally responded or not. I tried to black out all the things that have happened to me so far, but I just can't. I slowly get up, holding my side, as I limp around the small gathered group, and head outside. The fresh air tickles on my bruised eye, and gives it somewhat of a soothing feeling. I limp my way over to a old wooden picnic table and sit down, shoving my face into my arms. I didn't know what to do right now. Did Ally say yes, or no? What if she did say yes...? If she did, why? For herself? For me? I wasn't sure, but I didn't want to think about it anymore. I was choking up on my own tears, the anger, the pain and the depression overwhelming within me. I look for just a split second, my eyes puffy and sparkling with tears. But in that spit second, I see Ally approaching. I pretend not to see her, and shove my head back into my arms.

OOC- SORRY IT'S LIKE SO SUPER SHORT D:::::::::

[Azure]

Duke glared at me, his eyes hard, demanding an answer. Oh god, what do I do now? My body started trembling, and everyone was watching. This was the moment that would define the entire outcome of this whole ordeal. I held Duke's attention long enough for Lawson to slip away unnoticed. If I were to go back out with Duke, could I keep him away from Lawson? I try to speak, but I was at a loss for words. I look at the brute standing in front of me, and I remember all the times he used me, I was merely his toy. Was I ready to go through that again? The answer was no, but I cared for Lawson, and I didn't want to see him get hurt anymore.

"I...I will go back out with you, if you leave Lawson alone." My voice was barely a whisper, but by the smirk on his face, I could tell he had heard me. A single tear rolls down my cheek, and Duke just laughs. What have I gotten myself into? He doesn't say anything to me, but instead, shrugs his shoulders in indifference. I look around the crowd, not seeing Lawson anywhere. Pushing my way through the crowd of people surrounding me, I finally spot Lawson.

Walking over to the table, what seemed like minutes were actually just a few seconds. I carefully sat down next to Lawson, and touched his arm. "I'm so sorry." I knew I should explain myself, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. So I sat there, and waited for the boy to answer me.

So, she said yes to Duke. I could only tell, since I found the warmth of her hand on my arm, along with her gentle voice apologizing to me. I lift my head, my skin wet due to the downpour of tears that just dried out my eyes. I could feel my heart beat pounding through my eye, as tears once again began to soak it up. I was guessing it was bruised badly, hence the pain and beating within it. I could barely scrape out any words from my throat, I was practically choking on my own tears, but I manage to whisper a few words to Ally. "Why Ally? You can just live your life and I can live mine. I don't want you to date Duke if you don't want to. I know he's horrible for a fact, and I know you do too. Let him do what he wants to me, and live your own, better life, alright?" I'm trying to convince Ally, because I don't want her living a life she doesn't want to, fully because of me. I want her to be happy, and just forget about me, so she can live her happy life. More sparkling tears drip from my eyes, stinging the slightly torn flesh on my cheek. Tired of all of this, I decide just to get everything I need to, out.

"What did he even say to make you say yes? why would you say yes?...and Why do you care about how I turn out so much? You have your own life you can live without me, you know? Guilt flew into me from all directions, just asking all those questions so sudden and rudely. But, I had to get them out. It was now or never. I glance at my watch, the dim blue letters shining 12:15PM in my eyes. Lunch ended at 12:20PM, so I assumed I should just go, and try and forget about all this, even though I knew I could't. I get up, as the pain shoots throughout my body. I manage to walk, as I see Duke and his 'friends' approach. But not just them. Marisa and her 'friends', too.

Duke glares at me. His dark brown eyes, shining in hatred. He was angry that I was sitting with Ally, wasn't he? But why was my sister here? She has nothing to do with this. All i could was wonder, until I felt a fist reach my stomach. I was knocked back, straight into the wall of the worn down school. Duke began to chuckle, calling over Ally. Oh, no. I don't even know what Ally would do. Support him? Stop him? I don't really know, but whatever happens, it couldn't turn out good. Another punch hits my face, and that's when Ally arrives at Dukes side.

OOC- Sorry if it sucks, or Lawson's getting beat up too much, but I'm out of ideas and stuff ;-; -thinks-

[Azure]

My whole life had gone downhill ever since I had met Lawson. In fact, if I had just went my own way yesterday, I wouldn't even be in this situation. And yet, I didn't mind going through all of this trouble, because in the process, I made a great friend. The boy then turns his head to look at me. "Why Ally? You can just live your life and I can live mine. I don't want you to date Duke if you don't want to. I know he's horrible for a fact, and I know you do too. Let him do what he wants to me, and live your own, better life, alright?" That remark had caught my completely off guard. I reached for Lawson's good arm and held his hand. "I care about you Lawson, I really do. And I can't stand seeing you like this." I could feel my eyes starting to water, so I look away.

"What did he even say to make you say yes? why would you say yes?...and Why do you care about how I turn out so much? You have your own life you can live without me, you know?" Turning back to the boy, I noticed that he was crying as well. Was it out of pain? Or something else? I look at him, and then say, "He promised me he wouldn't hurt you." I wouldn't endure this sort of torture for anyone else. I genuinely cared for the boy, but it was too late to tell him that now.

He got up and left, most likely heading back to class. I glanced at my watch, only 7 minutes before lunch ended. I figured now was as good of a time as any to take my leave as well. Just as I rounded the corner, I see Duke standing there, towering over Lawson. It feels as if my heart stops beasting, and sinks down into my stomach. The brute's fist collides with Lawson's abdomen, sending him flying backwards. My lungs erupt with a blood-curdling scream, and Duke just smiles and waves me over. I start running towards Lawson, but Duke grabs both my arms, holding me back. Tears are now streaming down my face, and there was nothing I could do to help my friend. The brute dragged me away from Lawson, preventing me from going back there. As I kick and scream, Duke drags me back, laughing.

OOC-I suppose we can both RP Duke, so we can get him to do what we want. XD

[Toasty]

She wanted to help, I could tell. Something about her shriek, and the point Duke had to pulled her back away from me. Why was Duke dragging her away? No, Please...let her help me. I knew he couldn't hear me, and I know I'm not actually talking out loud, but I wish I could, but there's some kind of long-lasting burn stuck in my throat, literally choking myself whenever I try to speak. I try to stand up onto my feet and follow Duke and Ally, but I soon collapse, unable to walk properly. Was this what it's like? To be hurt, and able to do nothing? Is this what it's like in The Hunger Games? Hurt; unable to defend yourself? I just simply lie there, on the depleted gravel path, until I decide the sharp rocks jabbing into my skin aren't so comfortable. I knew lunch was over, and now that I've missed another class, I was screwed. Skipping one class? Might as well just lie out here all day now, and hope for Ally to see me alone, without....Duke.

With all the power I can provide upon myself, I slowly grapple my way to the small grass area, where the green grass and clear blue sky soothes you. I find the blanket of grass tickle my hands, and I know I've reached my destination. I lie on my back, prodding the cast on my broken arm, and softly massaging the bruises on my side, hoping it'll do something to help them. I wince several times, letting out agonizing moans, but I know no ones here to hear me, and there's no one here to help. I can do nothing but wait, for whatever fate brings to me next. Hopefully fate doesn't bring me Duke, Or Marisa. The soft blanket of clouds slowly shades the sun for a few minutes, dimming the sky a bit, casting a dark shadow over the school grounds. Especially where I lay. The murkiness in the sky makes me tired, the exhaustion and pain taking me over. The soft pillow of freshly grown grass under my head doesn't help in trying to keep me awake, either.

The drowsiness finally takes me over, as I shut my eyes slowly, covering my pale, grey pupils, my eyelids hiding my eyes. I lay there, nearly lifeless on the ground, as I dream slowly shrouds my mind, consuming the plain darkness in my mind.

I was in class again. Sitting down, in the same seat I was two days ago. Everything went exactly the same, and then, I reached the courtyard, where Duke broke my arm. It was fuzzy, but I was desperately looking around, i'm not sure for what, but It looked like I needed something, something important. I could almost feel the wind blowing on my face, as I spin around in my dream, and find Ally there in front of me. She has some sort of devilish grin, an unnatural one. Then, Duke materializes behind her, and pushes her into me. I swear, I shuddered in my sleep when i saw her face like that. I could hear the unnaturally loud shrieks and screams coming from Ally, as Duke bent her arms, bruised her bad, beat her down harder than he beat me down the other day. I couldn't take her shrieks of pain, they were to much, so I push Duke forward, as he pounds in my face, literally destroying all that was left of me. I was left on the ground, helpless, as I hear Ally send out a huge shriek, and then complete and utter silence. Scary silence. Creepy silence. Unnatural silence. I see Duke walk over to me, a creepy insane grin on his face, as he nudges me, and I scream, jolting awake.

The sun was back, gleaming over my face once more. Sweat stung the cut below my left eye, my forehead drenched in sweat. School was obviously over, because I could see kids staring at me awkwardly, muttering things about me. This defiantly wasn't helping my situation at all, but all i wanted to do was find Ally. But then, I turn my head to the left, and find her rubbing my forehead with some sort of cloth in my hand. Was she really there? Helping me? Was I really out the whole day? With just that short horrific nightmare? I was humiliated, but I was also comforted, knowing Ally was here, next to me.

"Ally.... Is that really you? I was shaking really heard. I'm not sure why the nightmare scared me so much, but it just did. I couldn't stop thinking about it, no matter how much I tried. Tears were still forming in my eyes, nearly blending in with the sweat I've produced due to my night mare. All I can d is stare at Ally, hoping she responds with an answer i'll like.

Thanks to Michie for some of the layout help and detail help. :3 (:

All eyes were on me as I was being dragged off by Duke. Yet no one came to my defense. Tears stained my cheek from what seemed like a lifetime of crying. I heard the boy chuckle as he held tight to my wrist, keeping me from running back to Lawson. This is all my fault... All my fault... There was no way I could fix what I have done now. Not only have I caused Lawson to suffer physically, but now emotionally as well. That look on his face when I went to talk to him, his expression when he asked me why I did what I did, all of it expressed pain. I've done nothing but hurt this poor boy ever since I met him. Slumping to the floor in the now vacant hallway, I sit, and Duke releases his grip. I stare up at him, and ask one, simple question. "Why?"

The boy merely shrugged his shoulders, conducting himself with a sense of indifference. What kind of twisted person would you have to be, to find enjoyment in other's suffering? He promised me, and yet, betrayed what little hope I had for helping Lawson, and now I was paying for my ignorance. What seemed like hours later he looked at me and said, "You must really like him, huh?" At first I didn't understand how Duke could come to such a conclusion, but thinking back, it was clear. Subtle glances in class, and slight smiles in the hallway, now it was all so obvious, I did like Lawson. As much as I wanted deny this fact to Duke, he was absolutely right. I just nod my head and stand up. "Go." I stood for a moment, was he really letting me go? I take off, before the boy changed his mind, and head towards Lawson.

Lying in the grass, he was a pitiful sight. Fresh tears come up in my eyes as I walk towards him. At first, I thought he was sleeping, but upon getting closer, I saw him staring right at me. "Ally.... Is that really you?" I kneel down by his head, and wiping the hair from his eyes I whisper, "Yeah, it's me."

[Toasty]

She was there. It was really her. Her being there, her presence, made me feel good inside. My heart warming my whole body. Sweat still dripped form my forehead, but I lie on the ground, a smile slowly creeping onto my lips. My heavy breathing ceased to make panting sounds, and reduced into a nice, calm and steady breathing. My chest didn't pump up and down rapidly, it stopped, and went back to it's normal, soft routine. I shift around in the grass, my hand trying to find Ally's. My fingers touch hers as I try to weave them between her fingers, gripping her hand hard, my hand still shaking in fear and shock.

"Ally, How did you get away from Duke? Weren't you..-Didn't he drag you away? To leave me to suffer? I didn't know how, or why she got away, but I wanted to know. A lot. I grip Ally's hand tighter, and I push my self up off the ground, slouching over, my body hurting all over. I stare into Ally's eyes with my own, my hair hanging eerily over my right eye.

I scoot closer to Ally, as I hear the school bell echo its tone through the halls, but I could just barely hear it. Class has started, and I figure, not going to class right now would be better for everyone, because when you're late for class, boy do you get in trouble. "Well....Ally, class has started...No point in going now, or we'll get scolded bad...Real bad. As I realize how long I've been looking into Ally's eyes I blush a bit, my bruised cheeks filling themselves with a warm, pink colour. I decide to tell her how I feel, right here, right now. "And...Uhm...Ally. I have to tell you something...I-...I like you...Like....A lot. I..-I really,really like you..." I turn my head away embarrassed, hoping to god she felt the same way.

Blush overflowed my face, the paleness of my face easily beat by the faint pinkness of the blush. I can do nothing but let off a small smile, telling her how I feel. I shift the position of my left leg, pulling it closer to my body and arching it upwards, quickly leaning my head sideways on it, to avoid any eye contact at this moment. I was way, way too embarrassed right now. I take it as this situation is awkward, and I can't keep still. I continue to shift around my head, mostly away from Ally, but then, I end up glancing into her eyes, and I can't look away. I decide to just man it up, and wait for an answer from Ally. Oh god, I hope she felt the same way I did.

Lawson's cold hand found it's way to mine, and our fingers automatically wrapped around each other. A subtle smile began to form itself on the boy's lips, and one on mine as well. His presence was a comfort to me, and as I could see, to him as well. His bruised body began to relax, and his breathing slowed to a normal pace. I brush back his hair, and find myself gazing into his eyes. What would Duke do to him in the future? No, I didn't want to think about that right now. If at all possible, I wanted to return my life back to normal, all of this chaos left behind Lawson and I. Of course that would never happen, I knew that much.

Lawson was the first to break the silence. "Ally, How did you get away from Duke? Weren't you..-Didn't he drag you away? To leave me to suffer?" The truth was, I didn't really get away from Duke, he let me go. For reasons I couldn't even begin to fathom, the brute was, kind, sympathetic even. What had caused this sudden change in his attitude, I didn't even know, but I wasn't too concerned with it, sitting next here to Lawson. The important part was that I was with him.

"I don't know, he just...let me leave." I whisper, then shrug my shoulders. I look back to the school building, and there was no sign of Duke, or anyone for that fact. Class must be starting up soon. I thought to myself. As soon as that went through my mind, the bell rang. Lawson gripped my hand tighter, using it as leverage to pull himself up into a sitting position. He suggested not even going to class, because it would be pointless, and I agreed. It seemed like people got into more trouble for being late than skipping class altogether.

I looked back to the boy, and noted that his cheeks were painted a pale pink. His eyes were locked on mine, and his body suddenly tensed up. What was this all about? Was something wrong with me? But before I could speak up he started talking to me. "And...Uhm...Ally. I have to tell you something...I-...I like you...Like....A lot. I..-I really,really like you..." Suddenly it was hard to breathe. My heart began pounding, sending a rush of adrenaline through my veins. It was as if time itself had frozen as I stared at the boy, who had quickly turned his head away to avoid my gaze. Could this really be happening? I remain speechless, then Lawson looks back at me. Then I finally realize that it's been a good 3 minutes since he said that to me, and now he must think the worst.

A smile forms itself on my lips, and I reach out to touch the boy's cheek. Leaning in closer, and closer, I start to close my eyes. I'm mindful of the his broken arm, taking care not to bump into it. Then our lips touch, and it sent an electric pulse up my spine. Yes, this was really happening.

[Toasty]

She didn't like me back, it seemed obvious enough. She left me waiting, so there was no need to wait any longer. I let out a deep sigh, ready to open my mouth to speak at any moment, but then, it happens. As I begin to open my mouth, Ally leans in, a kisses me. A thick coat of pink flushes through my face as my eyes close almost automatically, as I loosen my grip on Ally's hand the slightest bit. I don't think I've ever felt this way, ever in my life. This moment was just so...I don't know, perfect? It went from a broken arm, to this. How did that even happen? I don't know, but it seemed fine with me.

After a few seconds, minutes, whatever, we break away from the kiss, as I quickly cock my head to the right a bit, biting my bottom lip. I'm not sure. Was I embarrassed, or overwhelmed with happiness? I bit my bottom lip to prevent any silly expressions to appear onto my face, but it didn't work, because I could feel a strange, awkwardly smug smile grow onto my face. The warmth inside my swam around, like happiness itself was inside me. The blush on my face decided not to evade this moment, but to stick around and watch it, painting my whole face in it's pale, pink coat of love.

".....Ally, you really do feel that way with me? I mean, I didn't expect anyone to ever like me the way you just did." I can only manage to mutter this, utterly embarrassed. I turn towards her, the grass underneath me twisted while our hands still lightly; almost like clouds, on top of each other. I look up at her, and ask. So, is it real, or not real, Ally?
